Clinical Overview
This advanced genetic test analyzes the SS18L1 gene using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) to detect pathogenic variants associated with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and CREST syndrome (limited systemic sclerosis). Designed for neurological and rheumatologic risk assessment, it empowers clinicians and patients with precise genomic insights, enabling early intervention and personalized care strategies in compliance with 2026 DHA genetic testing regulations.
| Feature | Our SS18L1 NGS Test | Closest Alternative (Single-Gene Sanger) |

| Method | NGS (Full Gene Sequencing + CNV Detection) | Sanger Sequencing (Selected Exons Only) |
| Turnaround Time | 3 to 4 Weeks | 4 to 6 Weeks |
| Sensitivity | >99.9% for single nucleotide variants, indels | Variable (~95%) for targeted regions |
| UAE Compliance | Fully DHA/MOHAP Licensed, ISO 9001:2015 | May lack local genetic counseling protocol |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“As a DHA-licensed neurologist, I emphasize that genetic testing for ALS and CREST must be integrated with comprehensive clinical evaluation. A positive result does not guarantee disease onset, and a negative result does not exclude other genetic or environmental factors. Please discuss outcomes with your specialist before making any life-altering decisions.”

Medication Warning: Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor.
Safety Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Genetic testing is not recommended for children under 18 without specific legal guardian consent and DHA-approved genetic counseling, as per UAE CDS Law 2026.
- Individuals with unstable psychiatric conditions or those unable to comprehend the genetic implications should defer testing until psychosocial support is arranged.
- If you experience acute neurological deterioration (sudden muscle weakness, breathing difficulty, or swallowing problems), seek emergency medical care immediately; do not wait for genetic test results.
- Positive results for the SS18L1 variant linked to ALS require urgent referral to a specialized ALS clinic within 7 days.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the purpose of the SS18L1 genetic test, and who should consider it?
The SS18L1 NGS test detects inherited mutations linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and CREST syndrome, making it ideal for patients with early neurological or rheumatologic symptoms or a strong family history. A clinical genetic counselor can help you determine eligibility, especially if you have unexplained muscle twitching, Raynaud’s phenomenon, or esophageal dysmotility.
2. How is the sample collected, and is there any special preparation?
Sample collection is minimally invasive using a standard blood draw, a single drop of blood on an FTA card, or extracted DNA; no fasting is required and you may continue regular medications. Our VIP home phlebotomy service ensures a comfortable, cold-chain certified process anywhere in the UAE between 8 AM and 11 PM.
السحب المنزلي متوفر بين الساعة 8 صباحاً و11 مساءً، ولا يلزم الصيام.
3. Are results confidential, and can I share them with my doctor?
All genetic data is protected under UAE PDPL and stored in encrypted ISO 9001:2015 systems; you will receive a DHA-validated report accessible only via a secure portal. You can share the results directly with your neurologist or rheumatologist, and our post-test teleconsultation clarifies findings to prevent misinterpretation.
